Other than getting to see a lot of the lovely Colin Firth, this year’s Oscar show wasn’t very exciting. Luckily, the Iron Crafters movie inspired project are.
Kathy was inspired by the costumes in Jane Austen’s Emma & sewed herself a top based on the Regency style dresses.
Susi’s English husband introduced her to the movies of Cliff Richard which lead to her being inspired by the movie Summer Holiday. In the movie a double decker bus is turned into a camper.
Let’s see what the other Iron Crafters inspirational movies were…

March of the Penguins is awesome! My favorite penguin is the one we've nicknamed Bob, who is always standing outside of the circle instead of at least on the edges staying warm.
I loved this challenge and I hope we do another movie theme later this year. Music, books are good possible sources too. I'm having so much fun doing this. If it was easier to post pictures (for me, that is) I would be on time most weeks. Even if my project is a big fail, I learned something, stretched my creativity and took a risk. Thanks for doing this!
Lynda in San Diego
Cool! Finally posted mine today, but it was done & photos taken yesterday: http://ericah64blog.blogspot.com/2011/03/iron-craft-2011-challenge-9-complete.html
Lynda – I'm sure you'll see another challenge this year based on the arts of one sort or another. Sorry you have a hard time posting pictures. If you need any help or advice on it let me know.
I totally ran out of time this week and am very saddened by it! I went to the thrift store, found the barkcloth, found a pattern and cut out the jacket that was inspired by Gone with wind. But no time to sew this week for the Iron. May i still post when I get it done? Everything on here is SOOO amazing!
Ivenad – You can totally post it to the Flickr group when you get it done. I just probably won't get it into one of the round-ups on the blog.
